Color Me Blue
I'm loving shades of blue, glitter and stripes. I found a few of my favorite things on Pinterest. Thought I'd share them with you.
Dear Thyroid
I have days when I get hit with panic, anxiety, and fatigue (waking up at 5AM only to fall asleep again for a "nap" by 830/9AM), resting as the time goes by. It's days like this where I now know that it's my disease - hypothyroidism - that's causing me a minor setback in my day to day living. There were days when I would forget that I'm sick because I'd look great, but felt crummy.
I've come to a point of acceptance and acknowledgment, and it's been a journey, one that I'm blogging about and sharing with others, particularly several advocates within the thyroid community. The community I refer to consists of people who I have reached out to, such as thyroid health bloggers, advocates and those who have connected with me as well to share their stories, dialogue and allow me to thyrant (thanks friends at Dear Thyroid).
The friends at Dear Thyroid provide an amazing outlet for thyrants, support and people resources, they are known mostly for their Dear Thyroid Letters. I've had my public thyrants, but my letter is one I'm working on, cause I struggle with my hypothyroidism. Do you? Have you written your letter? If not, what are you waiting on? Make new friends at the Dear Thyroid Organization. Write on!

Seeing Signs
ABC News published an article by Anne Krueger, Health.com, 19 Signs Your Thyroid Isn't Working Right, August 30th. It serves as a reminder to me and many thyroid health advocates and sufferers that you can't and should not ignore the signs of poor thyroid health.
Check it out. You haven't lost your mind, there is clarity at the end of the tunnel. Just listen to your body and see the signs.
Well wishes,
Shemeka
Bahamas Mama ~ Atlantis
One of my favorite places is Nassau, Bahamas. I was there earlier this year in February, and like always, I truly enjoyed myself. My travel mates and I took a ferry to Paradise Island, for shopping and drinks at Atlantis. Atlantis has plenty to see and will keep you entertained. These glass sculptures are truly captivating and remind me of the scuptures at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, also by glass sculptor Dale Chihuly. He is amazing!

Pink Cast Coming Thru
My lovely pink cast that I am growing attached to... I rolled down a hill at Alpine Valley during the last song of Jimmy Buffett's concert last month. Great Show Jimmy!
Hello There, Lovelies
How is your thyroid health today? Are you loving your thyroid self? I am, however, there is always time for improvement. I broke my leg a few weeks ago, so I have had extra time to read magazines, books and some of my favorite thyroid blogs. Let me save you some time. I will share what I am reading, pictures from my travels and much more as I am a fan of sharing dialogue. ;)
Check out ThyroidChange and read the featured blog, as it features a hero. Enjoy!
Love to you, your thyroid or the lack thereof.
